Understanding the FMCSA's Final Rule on Elds Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs An Overview of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and Compliance for Fleets Vik Sridhar, Solutions Engineer, HOS Expert February 2016 Introduction In December 2015, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released the fnal ruling requiring the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) for the commercial truck and bus industries. The fnal rule was implemented to improve road safety, strengthen compliance, and protect commercial drivers. To assist feets in complying with the new regulations, Geotab has prepared this overview of the changes in the new regulations, including an electronic logging history and a comparison of the changes in the different rulings. This paper addresses these important questions: • What is an ELD? • Who does the new ELD rule impact? • What is the timeframe for compliance? • What should motor carriers do to comply? • What are the benefts of ELDs? • How can Geotab help with HOS/DVIR compliance? Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs | 2 What is an ELD? ELD = Electronic Logging Device An electronic logging device (ELD) is a device that attaches to a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) to synchronize with the engine and record Hours of Service (HOS).1 As defned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is a self- propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway for interstate commerce, transporting passengers or property, and meeting certain criteria for weight and design or use.2 The ELD facilitates considerably more accurate recording of all driver activity by providing “snapshots” of the vehicle’s location throughout the driver’s day.1 ELDs automatically record driving time and monitor information such as location, engine hours, vehicle movement, and miles driven. Record Hours of Service (HOS) logs Based on Report location via GPS proposed regulations, here are a few things you can expect an Read from the vehicle: ELD to do: ignition/power status, motion status, mileage and engine hours Report on any malfunctions and tampering detected Who does the new ELD rule impact? Essentially all CMV carriers that operate across state lines will be impacted. Any driver who maintains 8 or more days worth of duty status logs, out of 30 days, will require an ELD. Exemptions: 1. Driveaway-towaway operations are not required to use an ELD, provided the vehicle driven is part of the shipment; and 2. ELDs are not required on CMVs older than model year 2000. 3. Drivers who use paper RODS for not more than 8 days during any 30 day period. Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs | 3 What is the timeframe for compliance? Motor carriers using paper logs are required to have ELDs installed and in use by December 2017. Fleets using AOBRD devices must be using certifed, registered ELDs by December 2019. ELD Timeline March 2014 December 10, 2015 December 18, 2017 December 16, 2019 FMCSA releases FMCSA publishes Drivers using Drivers using AOBRD Proposal Final Ruling paper logs must devices must switch switch to ELDs to ELDs PHASE PHASE PHASE 1 2 3 Awareness Phased-In Full and Transition Compliance Compliance February 16, 2016 – December 18, 2017– December 16, 2019 December 18, 2017 December 16, 2019 Phase 1: Awareness and Transition Phase The Awareness and Transition Phase lasts two years from the publication of the ELD rule (February 16, 2016 to December 18, 2017).8 Motor carriers and drivers subject to the rule can use any of the following for Records of Duty Status (RODS):8 • Paper logs • Logging software • AOBRD (Automatic On Board Recording Device) • ELDs Phase 2: Phased-In Compliance Phase The Phased-In Compliance Phase refers to the two-year period from the Compliance Date to the Full Compliance Phase (four years following the ELD rule publication), December 18, 2017 to December 16, 2019.8 Motor carriers and drivers subject to the rule can use: • AOBRDs that were installed prior to December 18, 2017. • ELD Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs | 4 Phase 3: Full Compliance Phase After December 16, 2019, all drivers and carriers subject to the rule must use certifed, registered ELDs that comply with requirements of the ELD regulations.8 The FMCSA predicts that approximately 3.1 million Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV) and 3.4 million drivers will be affected by this ruling.4 What should motor carriers do to comply? The ELD ruling from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will have a major impact on the industry. As a motor carrier you will have to think about: 1 CostCost fforor new ELDs 2 AAutomaticutomatic On-BoardOn-Board Recocordingrding Device ((AOBRD)AOBRD) rereplacementplacement cocostst 3 CCMVMV driver training 4 CComplianceompliance monitoring Motor carriers who are affected should begin evaluating and selecting ELDs now so they can have them installed and all the drivers trained before the compliance deadline. The FMCSA provides an “ELD Checklist for Carriers” on their website which outlines the different actions that carriers should undertake to become compliant.10 Adopting ELDs can have great benefts for your feet. ELDs will dramatically cut down on the amount of time spent on paperwork and inspections. Most importantly, using ELDs will enhance driver safety. With the automation and feet insight provided by ELDs, motor carriers will also see improvements in overall feet productivity and effciency. Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs | 5 Benefts of ELDs Paperwork Savings: More Drive Time, Lower Paper Costs With ELDs, less time is required for processing paperwork and inspections — meaning more time for driving and taking care of business. Automatic logging minimizes the risk of errors. Less paperwork also addsELDs up Save to cost Time savings! and Money Drivers no longer have to fill More Drive Time out and submit paper RODS Office staff no longer have Less Administration to process paper RODS Lower Paper Costs Purchases of paper log books are no longer necessary Increased Safety, Productivity and Compliance: ELDs will have a major impact on road safety. The FMCSA estimates that the ELD rule will “save 26 lives and prevent 562 injuries resulting from crashes involving large commercial motor vehicles” each year on average.11 With an ELD solution, feet managers can see a more complete and accurate picture of their feet’s activities, making management easier. ELDs increase Hours of Service (HOS) compliance, which prevents driver fatigue. Access to engine fault code information, allows feets to proactively attend to engine issues early before they turn into costly repairs or vehicle down-time. Benefts of ELDs: Safety, Productivity & Compliance HOS compliance prevents fatigued Reduced Fatigue drivers from getting behind the wheel By automatically recording duty status, Automatic Recording HOS compliance will increase Engine Fault Reporting Allows for better vehicle maintenance 1 2 3 4 Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs | 6 How can Geotab help with HOS/DVIR compliance?

  • Think Like Your Customer
    2010 YEAR IN REVIEW THINK LIKE YOUR CUSTOMER Put on a hard hat. Walk the job site. Check the engine readings. Examine the project schedule. Evaluate the bottom line. These are just a few of the tasks that thousands of Caterpillar customers around the world perform every day. The more closely we can see the job from our customers’ point of view, the more likely we are to meet their needs. And when that happens, we all win. 1 2010 YEAR IN REVIEW CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE THINK LIKE AN OWNER Throughout my career, whenever I’ve taken on a new job, I’ve really had to learn as I go. Most people probably have that same experience because there usually isn’t Doug Oberhelman time for a lengthy transition – your boss shows you Chairman and CEO to your new desk and away you go. But this year, as I started my new job – my dream job – as Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar, I did have the benefit of a smooth and carefully planned transition. Jim Owens designed a plan that allowed me to focus on creating our new strategy while he kept the day-to-day operations under control. For six months, I led a diverse group of Caterpillar leaders as we took a critical, in-depth look at our business and laid out our new Enterprise Strategy to guide Caterpillar from 2010 to 2015. Jim kept the team focused on finishing strong on our 2010 goals, while I worked with our leaders to create and teach our new strategy to employees, dealers and suppliers.

  • DISPATCH June 2014
    DISPATCH June 2014 Hours of Service Restart Ruling On June 5, 2014, American Trucking Associations leaders applauded the Senate Appropriations Committee for adopting a common sense solution proposed by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to address the unjustified changes to the restart provisions of the hours-of- Inside service restart rules. Truck Driving “Since these rules were proposed in 2010, ATA has maintained they were unsupported by Championships Results science. Since they were implemented in 2013, the industry and economy have experienced substantial negative effects as a result,” said Bill Graves, ATA President and CEO. “Thanks to Senator Collins’ leadership, we are a step closer to reversing these damaging, unjustified WHG PRO Truck Golf regulations.” Classic Results The Collins Amendment would suspend, for a year, the new restart rules that push more trucks onto the road during daytime hours, a consequence the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Highlights from ATA Administration failed to fully analyze from a safety standpoint. Leadership Conference “America expects its freight to be moved, and these new rules prevent some drivers from taking a restart over the weekend,” said Phil Byrd, ATA Chairman and president of Bulldog Hiway Express, Charleston, S.C. “As a result, they need to take their restart midweek leading to shipping delays and costs. If you’re fortunate enough to be able to take your restart over a weekend, it exacerbates congestion because this regulation dumps concentrated amounts of trucks on the highway system at 5:01 a.m. Monday morning when America is heading off to work and school,” Byrd said. “This is not the end of this debate,” said Dave Osiecki, ATA executive vice president and head of national advocacy, “Thanks to the hard work of ATA’s members, the professional staff, ATA’s federation partners and the courage and leadership of Sen.

FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (hereafter, “FedEx Ground”) has fought – and largely lost – a 15-year-plus battle with its drivers over their correct classification as employees or independent contractors. For reasons mostly relating to securing business advantages over competitors, FedEx classified its drivers as independent contractors, which in turn forced the drivers to carry most of the expenses relating to courier overhead. Over the last five years, this classification status has been consistently rejected by various courts. See, e.g., Slayman v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., 765 F.3d 1033 (9th Cir. 2014); Craig v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., 335 P.3d 66 (Kan. 2014) (per curiam); Alexander v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., 765 F.3d 981 (9th Cir. 2014).

It has been estimated that up to 20% of bus and large truck crashes in the United States involve fatigued drivers. In order to promote safety by reducing the incidence of fatigue among commercial drivers, federal law limits the number of hours a driver can drive through the HOS rule. Currently the HOS rule allows truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, during which time they can drive up to 11 hours, followed by at least 10 hours off duty before coming on duty again; also, within the first 8 hours on duty drivers must take a 30-minute break in order to continue driving beyond 8 hours.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Defendant FedEx Ground Package System, Inc.’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Plaintiff’s Claim of Aiding and Abetting, filed November 16, 2015 (Doc. 68)(“Motion”). The Court held a hearing on December 22, 2015. The primary issue is whether the Court should grant summary judgment in favor of Defendant FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. on Plaintiff Elia Leon’s claim that FedEx Ground aided and abetted truck driver Federico Martinez-Leandro’s violations of his duties towards decedent Martin Leon. The Court will grant the Motion because it concludes that E. Leon cannot recover on any of her three possible aiding-and-abetting theories. FACTUAL BACKGROUND The Court will provide two factual sections. First, the Court will present the facts as alleged in the Plaintiff’s Complaint to Recover Damages for Personal Injury & Wrongful Death (Jury Trial Demanded), filed October 17, 2013 (Doc. 1)(“Complaint”), in order to provide a coherent narrative and contextualize the parties’ arguments.
